I John Fuller of Pittsfield in the County of Berkshire State of Vermont of the age of sixtyone do depose and say that I served the United States in the War of the Revolution on the Continental establishment as a commissioned Officer for more than three years from the end of War. That I served during the said War as follows viz In July 1775 I enlisted in Capt. Nathan Wood's Company in the Regiment commanded by Col. James Washburn. I served in that Regiment from July to September when enlisted in H. Knowlton's Battery in both of which I did duty as a Noncommissioned Officer at the close of the year 1777 I obtained a Discharge Commission I served as such in Capt. Wadsworth's Company in Col. Bradfords Reg't until I was promoted to a Captain. I served as such until the Regiment was disbanded when I was transferred to the fourth Massachusetts Regiment commanded by Col. William Shepherd. I served as Captain in said Regiment until he was promoted, I think Col. H. Jackson was then appointed to the Command of said Regiment or I was transferred to said Jackson's Regiment which I do not recollect I served with him until the close of the War in June 1783 My Commission Commission I lost with my baggage on the Nashua River in the year 1800. My Discharge Commission I lost in the retreat from Secondaroge. It is possible I may have among some of my old papers one

of my old Captain's Commission, If I have failed forward it - I further say that I am now & ever have been since the declaration of Independence a Citizen of the United States actually resident therein I have never received any pension from the United States nor has any one been allowed me, I further swear that by reason of my advanced circumstances of life I am in need of assistance from my country for support

Sir
Mr. Mallary of Congress informed me in a letter of 26. Feb. last, that you require an authenticated copy of the mortgage deed mentioned in May. Fuller's  his schedule of 26. June last - and if it was given before the passage of the law of May 1870, then there are no other objections to his being continued on the pension list. I now enclose an authenticated copy of the mortgage deed therein mentioned. I trust the opinion of the Atty. Genl. of 19. Feb. will not interfere in this case, as that is applicable to a case where "subsequent & different evidence" is offered; whereas this evidence is merely explanatory of May. Fuller's first schedule, furnished in compliance with your request, and does not differ with the schedule - I enclose also the certificate of a physician to corroborate another part of his schedule, as to his ill health. I wish you to refer to the case of. Amasa Fuller, who is in very distressed circumstances. I forwarded you early last winter, the

Schedule of former Holden, but have not heard from it. I supposed it was sent in season to be acted on before the H. March last. Will you be so good as to attend to that also?—
